I didn't know this was a thing, but I'd been noticing this phenomenon. I found it extremely annoying that after going to a website to check something out I'd see ads for the same thing. Even for things that I'd signed

3M didn't copy 20% from Google. They were doing it well before Google ever decided to do it.

Upvoted for beating me to the punch, and I'm leaving a reply before someone unrelated to the intended recipient doesn't get the humour and takes offence to your strong wording.

AppEngine is stable, but the feature set moves quite slowly. It's the opposite of Google Drive, it seems. It's the opposite of Google Drive, in that respect.

Documentation is hard because those who are documenting assume too much about those who are learning. This concept applies as much to closed source projects as it does to open source projects. It's all a matter of being open to those

I wanted to use it, but couldn't use it with Bootstrap (I know), so it was back to CoffeeScript and Backbone for me.

The wiring up is killing it for me - the wrong parts have been overengineered (MVC4, JSON) and not enough attention has been paid attention to the things that need to be stable (Azure dev tools). Overall the service has amazing potential,

Cheers. Unfortunately while we have a web role we have two worker roles running long-background processes to deal with Exchange streaming subscriptions (this isn't really a website, it's an API). This is more than I found when a

Once I started I couldn't stop. This is my therapy for the last three 16 hour days I've done debugging our Azure-based service. My compatriot (an ex-Microsoftie) has been working with it fully for the last two months, and I have

Heh, that reminds me of all the bad scanner software I've ever dealt with in my time, and wondering how dead inside that person truly must be to have had to write it in the first place.

If I wanted to do IaaS I would have done so already, and most likely on EC2. However, I don't want to spend time doing devops, which is what makes PaaS so attractive in the first place. Actually the true PaaS is Cloud Services, which

Not to mention things like no automatic logging, no automatic HTTPS, 20-60 minute deploy times, unstable dev tools. I've dealt with the quirks of MVC4 which I grew accustomed to, but the other problems are making deploying a solution

Sure, it's "move slow and break things". As judged by my experiences with most Microsoft products over the last twenty years, and reinforced by my current experience with Windows Azure's bizarre engineering choices and

I'd settle for 13 - "The ability to finally, once and for all delete old app IDs from the portal." That fact I can't shits me no end.

I agree, but will also add, access to guns is not the only issue. The US has a culture of gun fetishism you just don't see anywhere else in the first world. That's not something that will change with legislation.

Does anyone know how far away we are from being able to confirm the presence of planets as we might on a photograph? Or the obstacles we face getting to a high enough resolution?

You literally can't afford NOT to, because eventually you'll get to the point where you can't function, no matter how hard you try. What situation is so dire that you can't stop working?

They are running beta, and there are companies paying for the service. If you log into the Travis CI support Campfire, Josh may hook you up. He was very accommodating and is always looking for feedback.

I remember reading a paper once (no source; it was years ago) that explained innovation versus invention, and that most people confused the two, not realising that innovation is defined as iterating on an existing technology, while inventio
